I don't see why he should be behind the wheel at all.

He ought to be treated the same as any other substance abuser, Alcohol after all is a drug, a socially accptable one. Even so, I don't agree with Rusty at all, or Micheal's statement. It simply strikes me as a case of 'I got caught', not an 'I'm sorry' statement.

Honestly, I hope he gets fired by Rusty and suspended from NASCAR, it wold, IMHO, be the best thing for him.

Let's see. Aaron Fike admits to using heroin, banned for life. NASCAR had no clue, the police arrested him

Jeremy Mayfield, banned for life, currently sueing NASCAR

Kurt Busch, supposed DUI arrest, suspended by his team, no action taken by NASCAR (iirc)

Micheal Annett, Arrested for DUI, DWT, resisting arrest, punishments TBA

Scott Wimmer, arrested for DUI, got 24 hours of community service in a 30-day period (WTF?!)

I'd rather NASCAR takes a hard line against any substance abusers, no matter what substance.

Micheal Annett's in trouble

Quote :

A NASCAR driver charged with DWI, texting while driving and resisting police was involved in a crash seven months ago and used a similar excuse, according to North Carolina DMV records obtained by a Charlotte television station.

Michael Annett, who competes in the Nationwide Series for Rusty Wallace Racing, was cited about 1:30 a.m. ET Sunday in Mooresville, NC, after he ran into another car in Mooresville early Sunday, according to police records obtained by WCNC. There were no injuries reported.

According to Mooresville Police Capt. Phil Blocker, the 24-year-old driver said he wrecked because he was texting while driving. "He said when he looked up, he wasn't able to stop in time," Blocker said.

Annett gave the same reasons in July, according to records obtained by WCNC. Annett is quoted in a DMV crash report as saying "on the cell phone" and "could not stop in time" were the reasons he was cited for an incident in Charlotte in which he rear-ended a car that subsequently rear-ended the car in front of it.

Mooresville Police Officer J.J. Sasso, who witnessed Annett's accident Sunday, said he immediately checked on the occupants of both cars and, according to his report, saw Annett "shoving breath mints into his mouth as I approached the car."

Police said Sasso asked another officer to give Annett a breath alcohol test, and, according to the report, the driver had an alcohol level of .32, which is four times the state's legal limit of .08.

A 21-year-old female was a passenger in Annett's 2011 Toyota, according to the police report; the car he hit, a 2004 Chevrolet, contained four people.

Annett, released from Iredell County jail after posting a $3,000 bond, is scheduled to appear in Iredell County district court on March 18.

According to a statement released by his team, Annett said:

"I am deeply remorseful for my actions and my extreme lack of judgment. I let down my team, my sponsors, my fans and my family; I sincerely apologize to everyone that I hurt.

"This was truly a life-changing moment for me. Despite all of the negativity that will undoubtedly arise from it, I'm going to strive to use this incident as the impetus to make a lot of positive changes in my life."

NASCAR would say only that it is gathering information.

Ooh

Add a Dino and a Viper and you got my vote

Quote from Rappa Z :

IMO the only huge problem with TDU1 was the awful roads. While they managhed to fix that, they screwed up everything else.

They hired EA Tiburon to develop the game?

Oh now I know why it seems to be a step sideways

I'll check it out in a bit

I love the MP4-12C

Fast as hell, quick to turn and brake

Hilarious fail by Atari

Club cash glitch

I got it in 5 file chunks. Now I fixed my framerate, it's fun. I got no clue what car to get besides the Delta I started with. I need several for championships. ><

Try parking on a high point at sunset/sunrise. It's eerie. And beautiful.

Anyone know if you can gift cars?

I have a hatred for the licenses now. I keep getting taken out on the overtaking ones. It's very LFS-like in that regard.

I do enjoy just exploring however. Anyone know what car's best for B+ high championhip? I aced the initial one, got 50k, spent it on a house.

Now I'm after a decent car to go with my Lancia that I'm gonna sell

Ooh

I like, but is that Osella fit for circuit racing too?

The brake issue is?

I've read a lot of complaints, but first I heard of a brake issue

Downloading now, gonna play it and give my thoughts later

Quote from DevilDare :

If the NDA is still in effect, then they have every right to give out infractions or whatever.

The game is not out yet, therefore you're breaking the NDA by talking about the beta, and revealing info from it.

So what are reviwers meant to do, not mention anything then? Bose got a press copy for his site, which IIRC is reviewing it.

The forums say 'No BETA discussion', but the mods on TDU forums use that on posts that don't contain any beta discussion

Beta? That was a review copy. For a review site...

Mention the issues in your review?

I honestly wonder if Atari will go after people who post about 'omg this game sucks' on their forums. I know they're removing topics

Wha?

Link!

I've not been on past few days. I can think of one person who did this.

Quote from Cornys :

Before any on-track action begins, who do we belive will win the chapionship this year?

I'm going to go ut on a limb and say Tony Stewart, but if it's not it'll be one of the HMS big 3 (JJ, Jeff or Mark).

Why the f*ck not?

Jr's gonna win it. And with my form of picking people to win....he'll fail horribly
